    I’ve never thought of Athens as a place with the great streetart scene (guess everyone, including me, focuses only on the ancient history) but after seeing these pictures I know I’d love it there! Thanks for this post, it was kind of eye-opening!

      Yeah Kami, I was more fascinated by the Street Art than the Ancient History. Glad I was able to share a part of Athens, most people just look over.

    These are great! I started keeping track of which were my faves, but there are too many good ones. I wouldn’t have guessed Athens had such a vibrant street art scene.

    Jaime these are stunning!! You did a wonderful job at capturing each piece of art in the photos. They definitely take you on an emotional ride that creates empathy for what the people were experiencing during that time. Way cool, thank you for sharing!

      Thanks Lina so much. It’s crazy how Street Art can capture so many emotions of what is happening in a city.

    Wow, these are amazing! Before I even read your words, I scrolled through the photos and was immediately struck by the ones of the lady with the long hair. Images with so much emotion, especially those with a teardrop. Very powerful!

    I never realized street art from this point of view. If you see it like fotos in a gallery as yours, it seems really amazing. Stencil art was my favourite. In every day life, I just walk by them and see it as crime on others property. Your collection is a really good job!

      I like what you said Zuzana… street art is like photos in a gallery. That is brilliant way to put it. Glad you are able to see it that way now and am glad you liked my photos.

    Hey Jaime, this is great! The street art of Athens is simply amazing and I am very glad that you too got obsessed with the Curly Girl in black and white. I ended up chasing her all over Athens during my time there and I even put a whole post together about my love affair with her. Check it out if you like: http://www.seetheworldinmyeyes.com/street-art/in-love-with-with-sonke-curly-girl-of-athens/ She was clearly the star attraction on the colorful streets of Athens… 🙂
